  • Crip Camp Program
    Tuesday, October 20, 2020 7:00 PM with co-directors and producers Jim LeBrecht and Nicole Newnham In honor of National Disability Employment Awareness Month and the thirtieth anniversary of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Carsey-Wolf Center and the UCSB Library are delighted to host a virtual discussion with the directors of Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution (2020). In the early 1970s, teenagers with disabilities faced a future shaped by isolation, discrimination and institutionalization. Located in the Catskills, New York, ramshackle Camp Jened exploded those confines. Jened was the teens’ freewheeling utopia, a place where summertime sports, smoking, and make-out sessions awaited everyone; campers experienced liberation and full inclusion as human beings. Their bonds endured as many migrated west to Berkeley, California, a hotbed of activism where friends from Camp Jened realized that disruption, civil disobedience, and political participation could change the future for millions. Crip Camp premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, where it was the winner of the Audience Award. Co-directors and producers Jim LeBrecht and Nicole Newnham will join Hannah Garibaldi (Film and Media Studies, UCSB) for a virtual discussion of this fascinating documentary. ASL interpretation will be provided during the event. The film may be viewed in advance on Netflix. Presented in conjunction with “Disability Activism at UCSB and Beyond,” a student-led event that will take place Wednesday, October 21 at 2:00 PM. This event is sponsored by the Carsey-Wolf Center, the UCSB Library, the Disabled Students Program, Graduate Division, the Resource Center for Gender and Sexual Diversity (RCGSD), and the UCSB Disability Studies Initiative.

All of which ties perfectly into our theme of Imagined Futures.” To kick off the Festival, the Institute will evolve its Day One Press Conference into a content-rich digital Day One ​ ​ ​ Press Kit, including video remarks from executive leadership as well as details about the Festival and the ​ Institute’s global year round work; this package will be distributed via email on the morning of Day One (January 23, 2020).
